Getting your Caddyfile 配置 NasTool right makes all the difference. Let me show you what works.
Your Common Struggles
“My NasTool reverse proxy keeps failing!”
“I can’t get SSL working properly…”
“What’s the best way to secure my setup?”
Basic Setup That Works with Caddyfile 配置 NasTool
Start with this simple config:
nastool.yourdomain.com {
reverse_proxy localhost:3000
}
Pro-Level Configuration
Here’s what I actually use:
nastool.yourdomain.com {
encode gzip
tls {
dns cloudflare {env.CF_API_TOKEN}
}
reverse_proxy localhost:3000 {
header_up Host {http.request.host}
header_up X-Real-IP {remote_host}
header_up X-Forwarded-For {remote_host}
header_up X-Forwarded-Proto {scheme}
}
}
What Each Part Does
Let’s break it down:
encode gzip
– Speeds up loadingtls
– Handles SSL/HTTPS- Headers – Tell NasTool who’s visiting
Fix Common Issues Fast
SSL Problems?
nastool.yourdomain.com {
tls internal
}
Port Issues?
Check NasTool’s port:
netstat -tulpn | grep nastool
Access Problems?
Add this:
handle_path /* {
reverse_proxy localhost:3000
}
Docker Setup Guide
Running in Docker? Use this:
nastool.yourdomain.com {
reverse_proxy nastools:3000
}
Connect networks:
docker network connect my-network caddy
Lock Down Your Setup
Want better security?
nastool.yourdomain.com {
basicauth /* {
admin JDJhJDEwJG1... # Use caddy hash-password
}
rate_limit {
zone nastool_limit {
key {remote_host}
events 100
window 60s
}
}
}
My Full Production Config
This runs my actual setup:
nastool.yourdomain.com {
encode gzip
tls {
dns cloudflare {env.CF_API_TOKEN}
}
handle_path /* {
reverse_proxy localhost:3000 {
header_up Host {http.request.host}
header_up X-Real-IP {remote_host}
header_up X-Forwarded-For {remote_host}
header_up X-Forwarded-Proto {scheme}
}
}
rate_limit {
zone nastool_limit {
key {remote_host}
events 100
window 60s
}
}
log {
output file /var/log/caddy/nastool.log
format console
level INFO
}
}
Quick Wins
- Test your setup:
caddy validate
- Reload without downtime:
caddy reload
- Watch your logs:
tail -f /var/log/caddy/nastool.log
Questions You’ll Have
Q: Why pick Caddy?
A: Auto SSL, simple config, less hassle.
Q: Reverse proxy not working?
A: Check if NasTool runs and ports match.
Q: How to get HTTPS?
A: Just set your domain – Caddy handles the rest.
Q: What if my Caddyfile changes aren’t taking effect?
A: First, check syntax with caddy validate
. Then try caddy reload
. If that doesn’t work, restart Caddy with systemctl restart caddy
. Most times, it’s just a small typo in the config.
Q: My NasTool keeps showing 502 Bad Gateway errors?
A: This usually means Caddy can’t reach NasTool. Check these quick fixes:
- Make sure NasTool is running (
docker ps
orps aux | grep nastool
) - Verify the port number matches your config
- If using Docker, check both containers are on the same network
- Try accessing NasTool directly through localhost to confirm it’s responding
Q: My domain points to Caddy but shows ‘Connection Refused’?
A: This typically means your firewall’s blocking the ports. Quick fix:
- Check if port 80/443 are open:
sudo ufw status
- Open them if needed:
sudo ufw allow 80/tcp
andsudo ufw allow 443/tcp
- Verify Caddy’s running:
systemctl status caddy
- Check your router’s port forwarding if running from home
Q: Can I use Caddy with NasTool behind Cloudflare?
A: Yes, but you need this specific setup:
- Set Cloudflare SSL/TLS to ‘Full (strict)’
- Add this to your Caddyfile:
Copytls {
dns cloudflare {env.CF_API_TOKEN}
}
Make sure your DNS records in Cloudflare are proxied (orange cloud)
Set your API token in /etc/caddy/env
file
Running Multiple Instances
Need more than one? Try this:
nastool1.yourdomain.com {
reverse_proxy localhost:3000
}
nastool2.yourdomain.com {
reverse_proxy localhost:3001
}
Fix Problems Fast
When things break:
- Check NasTool:
docker logs nastool
- Check Caddy:
systemctl status caddy
- Test connection:
curl -I localhost:3000
Make It Faster
Speed boost config:
nastool.yourdomain.com {
encode gzip zstd
reverse_proxy localhost:3000 {
transport http {
keepalive 30s
keepalive_idle_conns 10
}
}
}
Keep an Eye on Things
Add these checks:
nastool.yourdomain.com {
reverse_proxy localhost:3000 {
health_uri /ping
health_interval 30s
}
}
Back It Up
Keep safe:
- Your Caddyfile
- SSL certs
- Auth passwords
Power User Features
Want more control?
- Load balancing:
nastool.yourdomain.com {
reverse_proxy {
to localhost:3000 localhost:3001
lb_policy round_robin
}
}
- Custom errors:
handle_errors {
respond "{http.error.status_code} {http.error.status_text}"
}
Real Experience
I’ve run this setup for months. Start basic, add features when needed. Most issues come from doing too much at once.
